Whats the story with Fields contract ?
again do the Knicks have the ability to match any offer ?
was picking up TD's last year option a mistake in regards to any cap effects ?

My understanding is Landry qualifies to become an RFA after this season. All what we have to do is to submit a qualifying offer by a certain date (heard of 06.30). If he becomes an RFA we're able to match any offer regardless of our payroll situation. However, if we decide not to do so, he'll be a UFA which makes him free to sign with any NBA team.

i think the point he was making is to lock him up BEFORE someone offers 10 mil...

.....let the crucifiction and the rape and murder of logic begin

I agree, lock him up now. I've seen enough to give him a contract. The kid needs job security and to feel like he's welcome here. No better way to show that then to show him the $$$. Also he'll definitely come cheaper now then at the end of the season. If he keeps this up he's going to require a MAX contract and we don't want to have to pay that.

D'oh-lan ain't worried about paying $$, he'll just charge more for the handicap seats...
he paid out $12M for Anushka just to get the f*ck out, he'll pay Spike Lin $10M just to
stay the f*ck in! not only is Lin-da worth his weight in gold, but he brings the Asian
community in, to fill the seats and sell out the Gardlin, and THAT my friends, is worth
every penny to a corporate gonad like D'oh-lan.
